Comment on How to Rig Soft Plastic Swimbaits by Craig Toerien

I heard a few readers ask why remove the paddle tail for wacky rigging? Well if you leave the tail on it causes the bait to fall head first, that’s not as effective as a horizontal fall like a Senko. You can get an even more natural fall if you hook my bait through the side (lateral line) not the belly which imitates a dying shad listing over on it’s side as it spirals down through the water. The side of the swimbait has a lot more surface area which aides the natural falling action.
Hope this helps.

I agree Tom. I have never wacky rigged a swimbait before. I have done it with a fluke so i’m sure it would work. I will give it a try this year for sure.

This is great information, especially the wacky rig swimbait idea. In the past I would toss my swimbaits once the nose was ripped.

Latest Fishing Technology And Fishing Gears
Fish finder

Imagine you’re sitting out there on your fishing boat, you whip out a cool gadget you just bought from the Internet and after a couple of beeps, the device tells you that there is a school of fish some 3 meters or so away from you. Now, how cool can that be? It’s almost like an ultrasound scan of the sea or the lake that tells you exactly where the fish are.

But of course, this is not news because many different companies have developed their own ultrasound-like fish finding gadgets a long time ago. But Maptech’s new i3 module is the first of its kind. It’s the first ever touch screen, hi-resolution 3D Fishfinger. Yes, you can literally see the kind of fish that’s swimming around under your boat, in super clear images and in real time.

The i3 Touch Screen command on the fishing gadget can help you navigate the floor of the lake or sea with a radar, combine it with satellite communication and a weather report too.

This is an absolutely MUST for those who seriously looking into easy-fishing.

Thanks, you have to make a trip up there. The fishing is truly unbelievable. It will live up to the hype every time you are there. It is a big body of water for sure, and it does make it a bit dangerous.

I clean all of my reels myself as well. In the winter I usually have enough time to go through and give the reels a good cleaning. Jon is right a schematic is nice to have while you are putting the reel back together.

Personally, I think that if you have a gun cleanning kit you have everything you need already. I like to clean with Q-tips though. There are many lubricants that are specifically made for fishing reels. I would stick with those because they are designed to deal with water better.

Those reel cleaning kits Jon talked about are nice, and the money you spend on it will save you a bunch of money in the long run.

I clean my reels myself. The biggest issues is making sure you get your reel back together correctly. The first time you clean it make sure you really take your time. If you don’t have a schematic of how the reel is put together search Google and you will more then likely find one. That will help you if parts start flying every where, been there done that.

Get some clean rags, rubbing alcohol or a degreaser of some kind, light oil or WD-40, q-tips, tooth picks, and a toothbrush. Take your time and clean all the grease and dirt off everything. Once it’s clean put a little bit of oil on the bearing and gears.

Personally I don’t think it’s worth sending them away to get them cleaned.

You could also get a reel cleaning kit from Bass Pro or Cabela with everything you need in it.
